Alliance for Education established
1995
History
In 1995, the Alliance for Education was formed through a merger of three education-related organizations with similar goals. The objective of this new organization was to serve as a convener of community leadership, and a conduit for directing private resources – both dollars and expertise – toward critical needs in Seattle Public Schools. Nearly 20 years later, the Alliance has raised and invested more than $150 million into Seattle Public Schools, and we remain dedicated to supporting and improving public education in Seattle.
